Here is the Solution for you.

The shortest answer is “turn off UAC before installing CAB”.

Please read the following if you dont know how to do it.

Then you may start to install CAB framework in your Windows Vista. I hope it would help. Feel free to let me know if you have any problem. I have tested this instructions on my Windows Vista Premier Edition. It works great.. Dont forget to turn on UAC once done.

  2. Michael Sync Says:

    Do you have admin right on your machine? or you have anti-virus software that can block the installation?

    You don’t need to turn off UAC at all. Just run cmd with administrator rights and run the cab file from it. Your installation will be succeeded.

    Thanks, Myat. This maybe one way. You probably don’t need to use cmd as well.
